I'm working on Sitka now. Does anyone know if LL spent time in Alaska? It sounds like he was. Anyway, I also go back and forth with other authors. I really liked Robert Parker. He wrote the Spenser detective series. Some of the ones in the middle were a little weak but still good overall. There was a TV series based on Spenser years ago called "Spenser for Hire". Parker also wrote a series based on a guy named Jesse Stone. Tom Selleck has made nine Jesse Stone TV movies that are pretty good. Some were based on Parker's novels. Some of the later movies were written by Selleck and his producer (I think) but kept pretty true to the character. I think Selleck did it with Parker's blessing. I also like the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child.
